Raising the bar—literally. 💪🤸‍♂️

This Sunday morning, Ansel takes the floor at the Swamp Invitational, hosted by Sun Country Sports Center. He’ll be competing alongside talented athletes across multiple levels in a meet that showcases strength, precision, and dedication to the sport.

📍 Alachua County Sports and Events Center
⏰ 8:30–10:30 AM

Behind every routine is hours of training—working on form, consistency, and control, repetition after repetition. Gymnastics demands a unique mix of physical strength, balance, flexibility, and mental focus, and Ansel has been putting in the work on all fronts. Each practice builds toward moments like this, where preparation meets performance.

What we’re most proud of isn’t just the skills he’ll show on the competition floor, but the determination and confidence he brings into the meet. Learning to trust your training, stay focused under pressure, and step up when it counts are lessons that go far beyond the gym.

If you’re in the area, we’d love for you to stop by and support him. It’s going to be an exciting morning of men’s gymnastics, and there’s nothing like competing with a cheering crowd behind you.

Good luck, Ansel—we’re proud of you and can’t wait to see you do your thing.

Happy New Year from Gainesville Prosthetics

As we wrap up the year, we just want to say thank you to our patients, families, and community for another great year. We are truly grateful for the trust you place in us and for allowing us to be part of your journey.

Please note that our office will be closing early at 12:00 PM on Tuesday, December 31, and we will be closed through the holiday, reopening on Monday, January 5.

We’re looking forward to a little time to recharge and reflect, and we can’t wait to come back refreshed and ready for an exciting new year ahead. Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and healthy New Year—we’ll see you in 2026!

Happy Holidays from Gainesville Prosthetics!

As the year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to say thank you to our patients, families, referral partners, and community. Every day, we’re reminded that prosthetics are about so much more than devices—they’re about people, progress, and the small victories that add up to big changes in quality of life.

This year brought new challenges, new technologies, and new opportunities to problem-solve alongside the people we serve. From fine-tuning alignments and materials to celebrating first steps, returns to work, and personal milestones, it’s been a privilege to be part of so many journeys. Each fitting, adjustment, and follow-up reinforces why precision, collaboration, and patient-centered care matter.

As we head into the holidays, we hope you’re able to slow down, spend time with those who matter most, and recharge for the year ahead. We’re grateful for the trust you place in our team and excited to continue supporting your goals in the coming year.

Wishing you a warm, safe, and joyful holiday season. We’ll see you soon.

12/22/2025

As we head into the holiday season, we want to take a moment to share a quick scheduling update and a note of gratitude with our community.

Gainesville Prosthetics will close at 12:00 PM on December 24 and will reopen on December 29. This brief closure allows our team time to rest, reset, and spend meaningful time with family and loved ones after a full year of caring for our patients.

Behind every prosthetic fitting, alignment adjustment, and follow-up visit is a team that balances technical precision with real human connection.

Taking this pause helps ensure that when we return, we are refreshed and fully focused on delivering the high-quality, patient-centered care you expect from us.

If you need assistance before the holiday break, we recommend reaching out early so we can address any concerns, adjustments, or scheduling needs ahead of time. We truly appreciate your understanding and continued trust in our team.

From all of us at Gainesville Prosthetics, we wish you a warm, safe, and joyful holiday season. We look forward to seeing you again when we reopen on the 29th.

Huge congratulations to Riley Frese on her graduation from the University of Florida!

Riley’s journey into orthotics and prosthetics started in a class called Beyond 180, and from that first exposure, something clicked. She quickly realized this was more than just an academic subject. It was a profession that combined problem-solving, patient care, and hands-on technical skill in a way that truly resonated with her.

That early spark turned into a clear sense of purpose, and she has been pursuing it with focus and determination ever since.
For the past year and a half, Riley has been working with us while balancing the demands of school and clinical growth.

During that time, she has gained real-world experience in the orthotics and prosthetics setting, learning how clinical concepts translate into patient care, fabrication processes, and day-to-day problem solving. She consistently shows curiosity, professionalism, and a strong willingness to learn, all of which are essential qualities in this field.

Graduating from UF is a major milestone, but it also represents the foundation Riley has built through hard work, long hours, and a genuine commitment to the profession. Watching her grow from discovering O&P in the classroom to applying those skills in practice has been incredibly rewarding for our team.

We are so proud of everything Riley has accomplished so far, and we are excited to see where this next chapter takes her.

Congratulations, Riley. This is a well-earned achievement, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.

🎄✨ Our Gainesville Prosthetics holiday party was a blast ✨🎄

It was really nice to step away from the day-to-day routine for a bit and spend time together as a team. Between busy clinic schedules and ongoing projects, moments like this don’t always come easily, so being able to relax, laugh, and connect outside of work meant a lot.

One of the highlights of the day was playing games using the Nex Playground system, where your body becomes the controller. It turned into a surprisingly active experience and definitely got everyone moving, laughing, and showing a little friendly competition.

It was fun to see how something interactive like that can bring people together and get everyone involved, no matter their comfort level with games.

More than the activities, though, the party was a great reminder of what makes Gainesville Prosthetics special. We’re lucky to work alongside people who support each other, show up every day for our patients, and still make time to celebrate as a team.

Moments like these help strengthen the connections that carry over into our work and our culture.

As we wrap up the year, we’re grateful for the experiences we’ve shared and the people who make this place what it is. Looking forward to what’s ahead and excited to keep building together. 💙

Check out these awesome shirts made by Rodney Herring!

One of the most rewarding parts of our work at Gainesville Prosthetics is getting to know our patients beyond the clinic. Rodney is a great example of that. Not only is he one of our patients, but he is also the owner and operator of his own t-shirt printing business, and his work truly speaks for itself.

Rodney specializes in custom-printed shirts with clean lines, bold designs, and attention to detail that shows real pride in craftsmanship. From design layout to print quality, you can tell he understands both the creative and technical sides of apparel production. The materials feel solid, the prints are sharp, and the finished products are made to last, not just look good for a day.

As a clinic, we value independence, skill-building, and entrepreneurship, and supporting patients who turn their talents into thriving businesses is something we genuinely care about. Seeing Rodney apply his creativity and technical know-how outside the clinic is inspiring, and we are proud to support him and share his work with our community.

If you are looking for custom shirts, team apparel, or unique designs made by someone who truly puts thought into the process, Rodney is definitely worth reaching out to.

Interested in ordering or learning more?

You can contact Rodney directly at bioflexx72@gmail.com.

Let us know what you think of his work below. Supporting local businesses and our own community members makes projects like this even more meaningful.

Huge congratulations to Cara Negri!

We’re incredibly proud to share that Cara has been awarded the Clinical Educator of the Year Award from Baylor College of Medicine — a recognition reserved for educators who consistently raise the standard of mentorship, leadership, and clinical excellence in the O&P field.

Even though she couldn’t be there in person, we made sure the moment was still celebrated. Our team gathered at the clinic, livestreamed the ceremony on the big screen, and shared the excitement together. It wasn’t just a video — it felt like we were right there in the room cheering her on.

This award represents more than a title. It reflects years of dedication, patience, and intentional guidance. Residents, students, and clinicians learn more than just technical skills from Cara — they learn how to listen to patients, how to approach problems creatively, and how to build confidence in themselves and those around them. That’s the kind of educator who creates lasting impact.

We also want to give a special acknowledgment to:

Billy Stager
Fanni Merczel
Aivy Nguyen

Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping support a culture where learning and teaching go hand in hand.

At Gainesville Prosthetics, we believe education isn’t just part of the job — it’s part of who we are. Awards like this remind us that when a mentor pours into people, the results ripple far beyond the clinic walls.
Congratulations again, Cara — we’re proud, grateful, and excited to continue growing, teaching, and celebrating alongside you

As we head into Thanksgiving, our team at Gainesville Prosthetics is taking a moment to reflect on what truly matters.

Every day, we have the privilege of working with individuals who inspire us with their determination, resilience, and trust. Serving our patients and being part of the Gainesville community is something we’re deeply grateful for, and it’s a responsibility we never take lightly.

Your stories, your progress, and the partnerships we build together are at the heart of why we do what we do. Whether it’s supporting you through a new fitting, helping you stay active and comfortable, or simply being a resource when you need guidance, we’re thankful to play a role in your journey.

Please note that our clinic will be closed on Thursday and Friday for the holiday so our team can rest and spend time with loved ones. We’ll be back the following week, ready to continue providing the care and support you count on.

From all of us at Gainesville Prosthetics, thank you for being part of our family. We hope you have a safe, warm, and meaningful Thanksgiving filled with good moments and good company. 🧡

Getting a new prosthesis, socket, foot, or knee requires specific documentation for insurance approval. At Gainesville Prosthetics, we partner with your physician to help streamline the process and avoid delays, ensuring you receive the care and components you need as efficiently as possible.

Insurance requires a recent physical evaluation and compliant chart notes (letters alone are no longer accepted).

Your physician must document:
• Your continued use of the prosthesis
• Medical need for the new socket or component
• Any changes in limb volume, weight, skin condition, or gait
• Whether damage or repair cost justifies replacement
• Your motivation to ambulate
• Your current medical condition
• Your functional level (K0–K4)

For new prostheses, chart notes must also include your amputation history, functional limitations, current capabilities, prior functional level, and realistic ambulation potential.

To help physicians provide correct documentation, we’ve created a full checklist available here:

https://www.gainesvilleprosthetics.com/physicianchartrequirements

Please ask your physician to fax compliant chart notes directly to our office so we can begin your authorization process without delay. Our team is committed to supporting your mobility needs and guiding you through every step of your prosthetic journey.
